The North Corvallis Area Plan (NCAP) represents a comprehensive planning project for future urban
development in northern Corvallis, Oregon, and its urban fringe, encompassing the Crescent
Valley and Lewisburg areas. This project was conducted with extensive involvement from
citizens within the planning area and greater community in Corvallis and Benton County. The
overall goal of the project is to create a plan, focusing on integrated land use patterns and
innovative development designs, that will reduce private automobile reliance and enhance
opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle travel, street connectivity, and existing and future transit
service. While being responsive to natural resources and environmental quality, the plan is
designed to provide for urban amenities, economic development, housing, and public facilities and
services. [From the Plan]

This Plan has four main purposes: to provide a vision for the long-range development of West Corvallis and North Philomath that reflects the aspirations of the community and to establish goals and policies for accomplishing that vision; to enable the City of Corvallis, the City of Philomath and Benton County to reach agreement on overall land use and development policies and standards applicable to their respective jurisdictions; to provide a basis for judging whether specific development proposals and public projects are in harmony with Plan policies and consistent with the concept of a sustainable community; and to allow City and County development departments, other public agencies and private developers to design projects that will enhance the character of the community, promote bicycling, walking and transit use, preserve and enhance critical environmental resources, and minimize hazards to development.
